There’s no doubt Daniels was the driving force for the offense this year. But I think that was actually part of his problem. Daniels has talked about trusting his teammates and not trying to do everything himself. One of the best aspects of being a great quarterback is elevating the play of the players around you and I just didn’t see that enough out of Daniels. He had moments with BTJ against Florida and Mason Taylor against Alabama. But as a whole I can’t really look at this season and say (insert player) was better this year having Daniels under center. I hope he can improve in this area and get our playmakers the ball with a chance to make great plays more often than he did this year.

Yea, that's not a good thing. It's horrible in fact.

Make a list of all the successful teams in the modern era where the QB was the leading rusher.

It will be a very short list.

Our Runningbacks have been weak since 2019.

That needs to change

Well stated.

BK doesn't see it that way though.

You have put your finger on the problem. It needs to change, but seems unlikely to if JD5 stays.

He was the offense because that’s what the coaches forced

He was the leading rusher because the best back is a walk on and the Oline is young and patch worked together.

Until they stopped him running and forced him to have to throw.

This happens when you're the first to touch the ball and call your own number most of the time.

Till Nuss came in and made everyone (including a safety) the offense.

That’s not as endearing as you think it is. He was the offense this year bc he played like I played NCAA 14 created player with 99 spd and 40 throwing accuracy.

Being so dependent on a great running/average passing QB is great until he gets hurt.

An elite passing QB pressures the D all over the field & opens up more running lanes for the backs.

See Joey B. 2019.

The offense was too dependent on JD and that's a bad thing.

Daniels left so many big plays on the table. So many points. He has had > 40 starts to figure things out. Why spend more time on him when there are QBs with more upside to develop?
